    You know whoever it turns out to be, I think the series will officially jump the shark when the Carver is unmasked.
    Too bad. It is a good show. Oh well, there is always 'LOST'.

    Jumping the shark means when a show has peaked, and it's all down hill from there.

    It is referencing a Happy Days episode when The Fonz actually jumped his motorcycle over a tank of sharks.

    I only really started watching this season, has there been a paternity test to prove that Christian is Matt's father. I thought it was strange when the Nazi girlfriend said Matt looked like Shawn.

    I had not heard that it was a main character. It seems really obvious that it is Quentin, and the more and more I see this season, the more and more I think it ISN'T him since the writers seem to want everyone to think it is.

    SPOILER

    Imagine the conversation with the director just prior to shooting the "Quentin boned in the ass by military guy."

    Quentin: "Okay...uhh, what's my motivation."
    Director: "Well, you're getting poled in your ass by a soldier. And you like it. Oh, and you're kind of creepy too."
    Quentin: "Okay, got it."

    END SPOILER

    My wife suggested after last episode that it could be Sean. God, I hope not. As someone else mentioned, that would totally kill the show. In fact, anytime Sean and Christian are not together and interacting most of the episode, it's bad TV. Those guys are great together. Towards the beginning of the season when Sean was working for Witness Protection and basically not talking to anyone but crazy Ann Heche, it was torture. Best episode this season was the one before last when Sean says he will come back. Great ****ing ending.

    If the writers really did say it is a main character that has been around since the begining, I have no idea who it is. My guesses were Quentin, chick that Famke played (obviously utilizing a strap on), or some random guy that we hadn't met. Now, I have no idea...but it better not be Sean. That will piss me right off.

    I have always thought that the Carver was Bobolit, but have also thought that that would be too obvious, but the fact that none of the rest of you even suggested that it might be him makes me think that maybe it isn't so obvious and I am right.

    see now this is the best thing about Nip Tuck, the more ridiculous the show gets the better it gets

    just finished watching the latest ep, gotta love torrents, they stopped showing it here are season 1

    as for the carver, hadn't thought of Matt before but guess he is possible (but really with his new girlfriend would he have the time), had certainly considered Sean and could see them pulling it off in someway, maybe christian finding out but not the cops.....

    think the Matt Nazi plot is going to get interesting, as is the Quenten hanging around in Miami working and doing the tradesmans entrance on Julia......

    Must admit the only thing i saw coming was that the Carver took Kimber... should be interesting how that plays out, will he start sending Christian body parts.........

    the whole paper bag thing was certainly creepy, once again they find away to love to hate Christian even more

    certainly my fav show hands down

    Another theory I just thought of. What if the Carver really was Sean but he frames Quentin in the end and kills him, claiming he caught the Carver and killed him before he could be killed. It doesn't make sense that Sean would just quit doing it outright afterwards but would be a big twist involving Quentin.

    Can't be Christian because Kimber was abducted at the wedding, while Christian was standing at the altar waiting to get married.

    Bobolit is putz. He is too unstable to have the calm demeanor and criminal precision of the Carver. If it is him, that would be real let down.

    I want Costa to keep trucking. Seeing him torture Sean is awesome. No matter how badly Sean trashes him, he can always come back with, "I slept with your wife."

    Nope, because she was in the front row next to Julia while Christian was at the altar waiting for Kimber.

    That's who I've been thinking that it is, but others in this thread have made a good point about him beeing too obvious...

    Yup, cause Atlanta is so far from Miami that a rich doctor couldn't fly down there to mangle some of the beautiful people. :rolleyes:

    Julia took a paternity test the first season and it was proven that Matt is Christian's son. However, that comment by Matt's girl did make me raise an eyebrow. I'm thinking it might have been more than just a throw away comment, but I'm not sure what they might be planning with it.

    Agreed. My fiancee' and I have said several times this season that the show just isn't the same without them working together. Also, having Christian lose Kimber helps as well. Christian's character works best when he's being a man-whoring *******.

    Bobolit was messed up beyond belief on the laughing gas when the Carver started his rampage. There's no way that he would have been able to do the things that the Carver has done...

    I think it's that bald mexican dude from a few seasons ago who used to force Matt to do all those surgeries or he would F him up. Or, is he in jail? I think he may have been busted at the airport trying to skip town.

    I dunno...if it isn't Quentin, then who the hell is it? It can't be Matt...the Carver is too tall and more built than Matt. It's definitely not Christian or Sean.

    This is driving me nuts. IT'S ME, OKAY! I DID IT! HAHAHAHA! CUT U b****ES UP, TOO!

    I guess I'm the only one that just assumed Bobolit died when he attempted the face transplant with Christian.

    Also, it can't be Christian because he was in jail for BEING the Carver when the Carver cut that hot, British cop chick that was doing Christian and Kimber.

    It also seems like it would be difficult to be Sean. He was at the wedding, but soon (or seemingly soon) after Kimber was abducted, Sean walks up to the altar to tell Christian she's gone. He probably wouldn't have had time to take away somewhere...maybe he drugged her and dumped her in a trunk of a car before left afterward.
